A woman who was arrested after a man was found dead at a property in East Grinstead has been released on bail.

Sussex Police responded to a report of a "domestic incident" in Paddock Gardens at about 19:45 GMT on Thursday.

A 61-year-old man was treated by paramedics but was confirmed dead at the scene. The force said his next of kin are aware.

On Sunday, the 69-year-old woman, who was known to the man, was released on conditional bail after being arrested on suspicion or murder.

Det Ch Insp Jon Gillings said: "This remains an active investigation, and our officers are working around the clock to establish the exact circumstances of the victim's tragic death.

"In the meantime, I would urge the public to refrain from speculating."

The force is appealing for anyone with information to contact them.
